PRODUCT DATA SHEET CONNECT Edition MicroStation® Modeling, Documentation, and Visualization Software Model and Document Better Designs, Faster With MicroStation, you can model, document, and visualize infrastructure projects of any type, scale, and complexity using a comprehensive set of design and documentation capabilities to reliably deliver even the most demanding projects. In addition, you can speed the production of detailed drawings and documentation, renderings, and animations. You can also reliably integrate any existing design content and work with any-size team using virtually any mix of design applications. MicroStation enables you to develop and document better designs in less time by better connecting you to your tools, data, and teams. Integrated Modeling and Documentation Workfl ows Hypermodels speed deliverable production and improve documentation The CONNECT Edition provides a common environment for comprehensive project clarity by immersing them within the context of 3D models. delivery and connects users, projects, and your enterprise. With the CONNECT Edition, you now have a personal portal to access learning, communities, and Design in 3D project information. You can also share personal fi les including i-models and PDFs Develop models with a wide range of 3D design tools. Build and edit curve, directly from your desktop with other users, or stage them for easy access from surface, mesh, feature, and solids models. Build functional and parametric a Bentley mobile app, such as Structural Navigator. With the new project portal, components with predefi ned variations to simplify managing and fi nding your project teams can review project details and status, and gain visibility into many similar components. project performance. With the CONNECT Edition, your project team may also wish Develop Hypermodels to take advantage of the new ProjectWise® Connection Services including Project Present documentation and related design information within the spatial Performance ashboards, Issues Resolution, and Scenario Services. context of the 3D model to signifi cantly improve their clarity.
